I don't recall anyone automating logs destructively before, but it certainly would not be hard to do. I'm guessing if it has happened, they were caught quickly. The timing on this was good though, Sunday night when logs have been coming in fairly heavy anyway, and when the left coasters and gc.com workers are asleep.

It does seem to be localized to NH, so my first guess is they started with a random cache there and then logged one of the nearest caches on that list and so on. If that is the case it will spread to other areas if it is not stopped in time.

I'm not sure as there is any need to delete the logs outside of concern for malware infection mentioned, once gc.com gets started I think they can delete them all.
